Simple Stories I Am Collection Simply or Not So Simply

Hi everyone! Rebecca Keppel here! I am here today to showcase the many facets of the beautiful I Am Collection. In my house every family member has albums dedicated solely to them. Then there are family albums that feature photos and stories of multiple people. My kids have amassed MANY albums to themselves. Sadly, my husband and I each only have a couple of albums between us. But with the I am collection I am beginning to fill up my album! The I Am collection can be very deep and introspective and let you document your most core beliefs and feelings. But it can also be playful. I found that you can use it to make very simple layouts as well as much more complex ones as well. Here is a simply layout.

Although I used many different pieces from the collection including Clips, patterned paper, stickers, Chipboard Frames, Epoxy Dots, and more, it is a relatively simple layout featuring one thing that I am...a soccer mom :)

I love how the typed stickers fit in so well with my typed journaling. The going to be heard sticker was the perfect touch since my oldest recently told me "not to cheer" lol!

The chipboard frames are fun for mini photos of course, but my favorite use for them is to house journaling or embellishments. On the flip side, here is a more complicated layout showcasing many things that I am right now...

This collection makes it so simple to tell your story, to let you define yourself in your layouts and to pass on to future generations little snippets of who you were.

Each of my small circular photos represents one piece of me and the photo is explained by a sticker title like, I am...healthy.

I love the bits of gold foil in this collection and the combination of dimension and texture available with the different embellishments like the chipboard and Bradz.

I hope many of you will also start to fill your own albums using this amazing collection!
